At 0.53 you can see Carl talking about his Black 1988 Gibson Les Paul that he customized. He added the Bigsby vibrato and he got this guitar when he was in college. There is a lot of stuff that is not original to this - pickups are not original as well.

This was ‘Blacky’ into a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo into an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man (with a small delay) between two amps: the Carr Viceroy and the Top Hat Ambassador. On the intro I played with the repeats on the Fulltone to get it to feedback and get all ‘warbly.’ I don’t take the tape echo out on tour; in its place I’ve been using the Eventide Timefactor. It has a nice tape echo that I can control with my foot in real time.
